DEVELOPING NOTES
================

Web-Bench, derived from the site of oz.exit0.net and collected ideas from gsController and the
ucuo-Framework developed by Stephan Schmidt. While the ucuo-Framework and oz.exit0.net where very
client specific Wombat now tries to be as general as possible.

The name was chosen to suit to an Australian animal - a cute (fat) animal: Wombat. I also like the
name, 'cause it reminds me of the Workbench (tm), which was used in the old days when (Commodore's)
Amiga Computer were very popular.
